I’m taking the X out of espresso, one dead barista at a time.

I was lifting earlier this afternoon and had one of my staff spotting me on the bench.
here’s the set-up:
315 on the bar, wrist-wraps, lever belt, me under the bar driving with my legs… and this guy walks over and can’t even wait for me to finish the rep before he starts asking my spotter for assistance with the hip abd/add machine - he reaches through my projected ROM to tap my spotter on the shoulder, because they aren’t looking at him.
I tag the underside of the rack hard and when I slide the bar around top-side again, I want to punch this idiot in the face!
but I can’t, because I work here, and that would be a bad career move…

Cluelessness that potentially causes someone bodily injury or worse needs to addressed. Maybe not in the way you and I would like…but somehow.

That’s the thing, it wasn’t interesting, I went on a whim. One of the BJJ guys asked right after class if I wanted to go, and who says no to a porn party?
There was probably a 3:1 male to female ratio, and everyone was really trashed. The only thing that made it different from a regular party was the number of sex toys laying around, and the porn on the tvs.

I could have, but nothing appropriate came to mind. (nothing that wouldn’t cause some type of complaint later).
people know that I work here, so they think my time is less important than theirs because I’m here all-fucking-day, but they don’t realize my time to train is limited.

I understand, but that’s fucking dangerous. That’s just ignorant.

I have noticed that it is hard for the people that work at the gym to train there too without being bothered. That would really piss me off.

yeah, it does, but my membership is free.
I’m still contemplating joining another facility just for a real squat rack and to be left alone while training though.
on another note,over the last 3 days I’ve been staying consistent with my new “diet” of eating a minimum of 500 calories every 2 hours and netting 200grams or more of protein daily, the percentages and grams of everything else don’t matter.
Because all diets need a name this is my “get yoked or die tryin’” diet. pretty much the opposite of southbeach or the zone - or anything really.
time to eat again…

I don’t know if this counts for you as vicarious vengeance, but somehow while I was doing the 45 degree glute-hamstring hyper extension thingies I got to about rep 8 before reverse headbutting a chick right in the cootchie.
I’m not sure why she had to get as close as she did, but wtf? So I said “Ouch!” and gave her a dirty look, so I wasn’t blamed for her stupidity.
So, if I haven’t had mexican food for a week, and still end up having to consciously think “Don’t shit yourself!” during a deadlift, am I lifting at the appropriate percentage?

Haha!
yes, that helps.
how can people be so oblivious to their surroundings?
she must have been thinking “ok so that’s his ROM… but I bet it will change on the next rep!” or was she texting?

go heavier!

ugh, I’ve eaten twice since the last post and now it’s time to do a DE lower workout!
I had delicious and nutritious sushi for lunch, and almost went into a coma from the rice!
